Sydney will have to do it hard when it faces a Canberra squad keen to rebound off a tight loss against Parramatta last weekend.
The Roosters will be without their spiritual leader, James Tedesco, Daniel Tupou and Lindsay Collins, who are all set to miss due to State of Origin call ups.
Jack Wighton and Josh Papalii are also on Origin duty, so both teams will be without pit oval cogs.
We know what the Raiders are capable of. If they play their best, they can match it and beat anyone in this competition.
But Canberra’s abrupt inconsistency does not exactly brood confidence from a betting perspective.
Sydney is the type of team covering omissions and injuries all of last season and dealt with it considerably well.
Trent Robinson is accustomed to moving his names on the whiteboard and should be able to find enough lanes to the try line.
Suggested Bet: Sydney Roosters -4.5 at $1.90

The unders is the way to go here.
With both teams missing pivotal players from an offensive end, looks as though try-scoring nous will be lost in this game.
James Tedesco leaves behind good try-scoring form and try assist form for State of Origin, while the Raiders lose Josh Papalii for the same reason.
Add in the ugly weather predicted for this game, expect a tough, low-scoring slog.
Suggested Bets: Total points under 40.5 at $1.87

Teenage star Joseph Suaalii will have to step up to the plate in the absence of his team mates and we are backing him to get himself on the scoresheet.
He has showed plenty of potential and gets his chance to show the competition what he is made of.
With the prediction there will be less than 40.5 points and the Roosters covering the line, we will not add more legs or get too tricky.
Three legs for a nice collect.

Leg 1: Sydney -4.5
